It’s estimated that 350 million from around the world watched King Charles III’s coronation live from Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, 2023.

Who knows how many millions more will watch videos and clips of the event in the weeks following.

And as the Western Journal points out everyone watching received a presentation of the gospel and as well numerous Biblical quotes whether they wanted it or not:

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, officiated the coronation and started off the ceremony with the proclamation that ‘Christ is Risen’:.

The Western Journal writes:

Take, for instance, the archbishop’s greeting at the beginning of the ceremony: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.”

“Alleluia. Christ is risen,” the archbishop continued. The congregation’s response? “He is risen indeed. Alleluia.”
